Other Important Information
•
•
Signal word: Caution
•
Application interval: 7 days
•
Do not graze or feed soybean forage and hay to livestock.
•
Belay has local translaminar and systemic movement, via the xylem, following a foliar spray
to actively growing plants. This means Belay also controls insect pests feeding on the
underside of the leaf.
•
Belay is compatible with commonly used tank mixes. Always follow mixing order and
compatibility testing instructions. Maintain agitation when mixing and applying Belay.
•
Do not apply more than 12 fl oz of Belay or 0.2 lb ai of clothianidin (either as foliar and/or seed
treatment or a combination of different application methods) per acre per season.
•
Belay may be used 45 days after a seed treatment containing a neonicotinoid, such as
INOVATE® Seed Protectant, allowing growers maximum flexibility to control early season and
late season insect pests in their crops.
•
If application is being made when the target pest numbers are above threshold levels and/or
plants are reaching senescence, apply 3 fl oz/A of Belay and tank mix with a pyrethroid or
organophosphate insecticide such as Lorsban®.
•
Belay is labeled to minimize harm to the environment, including beneficial insects such as
bees. The acute toxicity of Belay to bees is similar to other chemistries in its class.
